Blancpain Watches

At Blancpain, the expression "Innovation is our tradition" is a fundamental guiding principle.
Our attachment to innovation is reflected each year in the development of new timepieces with innovative calibers, often a world's first. Most recently, in a little more than 10 years, our quest for innovation resulted in the creation of 43 new, in-house, exclusive and varied calibers or movements, which includes: the Calendrier Chinois Traditionnel, the Tourbillon Carrousel, the Carrousel Répétition Minutes and the Tourbillon Volant Heure Sautante Minute Rétrograde.

Thanks to our constant innovation and our complete control over the manufacturing process, Blancpain has absolute freedom of creation. In-house design and manufacturing of a significant part of the components and tools; manual assembly of each movement by a single watchmaker; fully handcrafted refined finishes, even down to the last detail: the strength of the Manufacture lies in our capacity to create timepieces that are at once innovative and respectful of the Swiss watchmaking tradition. This philosophy is reflected in each of our models and all of our collections, like our classic Villeret pieces, the emblematic Fifty Fathoms diving watches, the elegant Women models or the exceptional Métiers d'Art watches.

The Know How
We offer a wide range of complications in our collections, illustrating another dimension to our expertise. Our movements, all entirely produced in-house, include all the recognised watchmaking complications: the full calendar, moon-phase indication, the annual calendar, the perpetual calendar, the equation of time, the chronograph, the split-seconds chronograph, the flyback function, GMT, alarms, the one-minute flying tourbillon, the minute-repeater and, of course, combinations of complications. Our collection also features Blancpain’s own unique complications, such as the Carrousel Volant Une Minute, the Calendrier Chinois Traditionnel and an annual calendar combined with a GMT function.
